It all began in the 1950s with a pioneering article by Alan Walsh. Today, it is an established standard technology in the field of analytical chemistry: atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). AAS has experienced amazing development through the decades. In addition to newer ICP technologies, modern AAS systems such as Analytik Jena’s contrAA 800 exist thanks to ongoing technological ...
The effect of two different water sources (treated waste water and lake water) used for irrigation on the soil geochemical properties and the fruit quality parameters of the Lohan guava were studied. The fruits' physical attributes, physicochemical attributes, nutritional attributes, mineral content as well as consumers’ acceptance were evaluated. The ...
Irrigation water salinity effects on colour and health ingredients in the pomegranate peel were studied in two accessions, ‘Wonderful’ and ‘SP-2’, grown under a wide range of salinities, 1.2 to 9 dS m –1 . Ripe fruit peels were analysed for phenolics and anthocyanins composition, and antioxidative capacity. Total phenolics concentration and antioxidative capacity were determined by the ...
Anthracnose [Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (Penz). Sacc.] is one of the most important post–harvest diseases on guava fruits (Psidium guajava L.). The study was conducted to evaluate the hydrothermal effects on disease incidence and on fruit quality [fresh weight loss (FWL), pH, total of soluble solids (TSS), and acidity (Ac)] from conventional and organic system of production. Trials were ...
Quality postharvest of three cultivated species of the Northeast Region of Brazil was evaluated after receiving ionising radiation. Cashew peduncles (Anacardium occidentale L. var. Nanum) stored for 14 days under 6.5°C had presented best results in the sensorial analyses for external appearance, flavour and aroma when irradiated with 1 kGy. Sapodillas (Manilkara sapodilla (L) Van Roy en) ...
Through a direct survey conducted on a sample of firms operating in the Sicilian fruit and vegetable sector, the present study provides an empirical evidence on the degree of diffusion of ICTs as well as on relationships with the regional distribution system. To pursue this goal, a multiple regression analysis model was implemented to identify which factors ...
A total of 250 samples—including fruits, fruit juices, and baby foods (50 samples each); vegetables (70 samples); and cereals (30 samples)—were collected from Lucknow, India, and analyzed for the presence of imidacloprid residues. ...
The novel approach employed here combines QuEChERS extraction, cartridge SPE cleanup, and GCxGC-TOFMS analysis, and results in good recoveries across a range of compounds found in these complex matrices. ...
The factors studied include plant density and topology, as well as fungi and virus abundances. A multiple regression analysis shows that total fruit production can be well predicted by the area per plant and the total presence of fungi. ...
This exemplifies the need for a reliable method of extraction of limonene from its natural source, citrus rinds, followed by a quantitative analysis of the extract for limonene and possible impurities. A method for the extraction and quantification of limonene from citrus fruit peels is discussed in this applications note. Beyond demonstrating the use of GC/MS ...
This study sought to identify the main factors influencing olive fruit production in this region, by modeling pollen release as an index of flowering intensity, field floral phenology data, and meteorological data over the fruiting season in three main olive-producing provinces of Andalusia: Jaén, Córdoba, and Granada. ...
Independent investigators found ENVI-Carb tubes to be an effective part of sample cleanup for more than 200 organochlorine, organophosphorus, nitrogen-containing, and carbamate pesticides, from many fruits and vegetables. ENVI-Carb tubes enabled these investigators to recover several pesticides they could not recover from charcoal/Celite minicolumns, and eliminated their ...
It is thereby argued that the efficiency of policy-making can be increased if a fruitful synergy between analytical decision analysis and political opinion forming can be achieved and nourished along the whole policy-making life cycle. ...
